63 Years A Man; 38 Years A Teacher Of Life And Living It Well. A Tribute To A Transformational Man Of God

This past Sunday, Pastor Mensa Otabil was not in the country and so was unable to be present in Church; but in true ‘Otabil style’, he made sure we were not left out on our Sunday dose of the word.

He may have been physically absent, and profoundly missed; but his teaching lacked none of the tenacity, clarity of thought, or transformational knowledge characteristic of a Pastor Otabil sermon.

The kitchen sink realities served through the gospel by Pastor Otabil always resonated with my young self.  Suffice it to say, my favorite preacher has always been Pastor Otabil.

This statement was made by Pastor Mensa Otabil at one of the Albert and Comfort Ocran-led Springboard seminars.

Not surprisingly, even till today, whenever I think of Pastor Otabil, the first thought that comes to mind is, ‘real estate is the only real estate.’

In his closing monologue at a conference in Nigeria, Pastor Otabil said that Africa’s leaders [both business and political] should learn from and appreciate the continent’s religious leaders, who have been successful in building organizations that have grown consistently over time. I believe, it is imperative for the young people of today to do so as well.

Admittedly, religious leaders like Pastor Otabil have a unique advantage; and that is the Grace of GOD, but heavy is the head that wears the crown.
